- About Me:
- Born in 1966 in Galveston Texas, I have been
creating metal sculpture using scrap metal for
over twenty five years. In college, my desire
was to study art but after much thought decided
on a more practical path of study. I have no
formal education in art but earned a bachelor’s
degree in Industrial Technology and a master’s
degree in Organizational Leadership. I think my
lack of formal art education allows me to create
however I want because I don’t know any better.
With a young family and a fulltime career in
middle management for a major healthcare
provider in Houston, I make art in my spare
time. With this limited time to work, my
imagination becomes fully engaged and along
with the physical demands of the work, I create
what many consider as works of art. To me,
sculpture is my therapy, my creative release, a
thing that I do to escape.

Hi Friend:
I hope your day is going well for you. I ran across some cool software that I think you'll be interested in and can help you hide folders and files on your computer. This can come in real handy when you have sensitive files that you want to keep private from prying eyes. Use Hide Those Folders software to keep private files from being viewed by children, employers, employees, and even hackers!
Hide Those Folders will hide your sensitive files and folders so that they can't be seen or accessed. Files stay hidden even if you turn on "View Hidden Files" Even links in your recent documents menu won't be able to find your hidden files or hidden folders.
The best part is that Hide Those Folders offers a FREE "Try Before You Buy" trial.

Kay Sarver said… - Hello Michael,
I believe your brother helped to put in our electrical work at our gallery - Archway. Your work is quite interesting - I love the pieces of metal objects put together to form shapes... some being figurative, animal and some just beautiful sculptures. They have whimsy and class, and definitely are very original. Perhaps you would be interesting in the idea of joining our gallery? Come by and have a look - 2305 Dunlavy. 713-526-1381
Take care,
Kay Sarver
